Abstract: A method for making a high silica loaded polymeric composition by forming a pretreated silica by creating an aqueous slurry with a silica and a silane, mixing a solvent with the silane and adding the mixture to the silica, or spraying silane on the silica allowing the liquids to be absorbed into the silica. The method includes coupling the silane onto the silica, adding the pretreated silica to a carrier, forming a slurry, heating the slurry, and mixing preheated polymeric rubber latex with the heated slurry to form a latex slurry, then blending a coagulant with the latex slurry while stirring and allowing coagulation of the latex slurry to form the high silica loaded polymeric rubber composite.
